Menorrhagia and Nursing

Anyone had menorrhagia (very high bleeding during periods) and get better when their little one was weaned? I am still nursing my 19 month old and have menorrhagia. The doctor told me she would be more worried about it if it didn't go away after I finished nursing. Does it get better after nursing?

I have stage IV endometriosis so I bleed very heavy on my periods (like super plus tampon with overnight pad every hour or two for first day) since getting pregnant and nursing I went 20 months with no period (awesome) my first one was last week and it was bad for the first day (not as bad as before) it ended after 4 days they use to last 2 weeks. Usually nursing decreases your bleeding.
